BSNYC Wednesday Fun Quiz! No, Wait, Friday! I Meant Friday.

How awesome are they? Well, they're so awesome that Walz has already sold through the first run. However, you can rest assured that the people of Santa Poco are sewing like the wind to produce another batch, which means that new ones will be ready to ship in about three (3) weeks.

I have one and it's also awesome, though in a totally different way from the "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" hat, which is why, ideally, you should own both. (Really you should own two of both for when one's in the wash.)

Secondly, the IMBA World Smit draws ever closer, which means in less than a month I'm going to Collarady:

Did somebody say "evening reception with special guest speaker, BikeSnobNYC?"Friday, 8/22: Destination Dirt—Investments and Payoff in MTB Communities (sessions open to all attendees), content focus for professional land managers and tourism folks, bike demos, night riding on Emerald Mountain and an evening reception with special guest speaker, BikeSnobNYC.

I would have tweeted that same question back to the NYPD, but the truth is they scare the living shit out of me, and until I sell enough hats to move up to the country and retire I still gotta live here, you know?

And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right you'll blurt out HOLYFUCKINGSHIT! like it's one word, and if you're wrong you'll see a steampunk motorized pennyfarthing.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and remember that you can never have too many hats.

Huh. Strange what qualifies as art these days. Thousands of years from now, those plastic bikes will be dubbed crap-henge as the Earth's inhabitants wait for them to bio-degrade. Sigh. I need a ride. And art. Real art. Time for the Tour de Biennale

By pensioners on bikes, they mean Walmart greeters with DUIs. We clearly need more laws to control this cycling behavior and public scranal/clittoranal stimulation. We don't need any laws about giving out 0.0001% interest in bank accounts and charging 24% interest on loans.

I spent most of the last two weeks in Durango, Colorado. The mountain bike cycling around there is awesome. Apropos of your upcoming visit to Steamboat, I noted that I didn't see a single eBike on the trails while I was riding in the Durango area.

I can't believe I sent in a photo of fuckin' David Byrne sidewalk salmoning and it didn't even make the quiz. Is it that common? Do you know how risky it was snapping a photo of him on his home turf in Prospect Heights?! He could have Sean Penn'd me and given me a fat lip…or rather a Micro Lip, which is what you get when David Byrne whacks you.

Metric Woo-Hoo Speed is exactly 1 kiloFrederick. It's only when you convert to English units that it takes on some weird clumsy number like 46 mph. Pshh, how am I supposed to remember 46 mph equals 1 kF? ADOPT METRIC, AMERICA!

Wildcat: That's a great idea.Brian, as I don't have any Gran Fondues coming up in the near future or in my lifetime, in the spirit of the Fraternity of the BSNYC, I am willing to send you my Woo-Hoo cap until the second editions come out and you can send me another. It has only been tried on and modeled in the nude for my wife who thought I looked ridiculous, but I thought I looked pretty good. It has not been in the East River. I await your decision.

The real problem is when you try to convert peloTons into kiloFredricks, not to mention that the English might use Imperial peloTons, which are measured in stone, or is that the Aussies that use stone.

If you have a 100kg (1 peloTon/peloTonne) Fred, traveling at 1 kiloFrederick at atmospheric pressure of 100kPa, the temperature of water you have to throw on him to make him stop going "Woo hoo hoo hoo!" is 100ºC. See how it all works out so nice in Metric? LESSON FOR YOU, AMERICA!

So my lil round bootied Indian Princess walks into the shop and says, "I see you got a new hat......." and then walked out. WTF. I am going to make it a priority to stamp my authority on dat ass tonight.

I do appreciate that DB - I'll rough it out. Though I will take some cheese for the Gran Fundue. Will have PLENTY of hot days of riding down here in SC once the cap does get here. I hit 39.4 MPH last night....I think the cap will give me that extra oomph to get those 5.6 MPH needed to go "woohoohoo"

As long as it's not boiling hot or freezing cold, a handy and reasonably accurate temperature conversion method involves doubling the Celsius temp and adding thirty to give you the equivalent in Fahrenheit.

For example, to convert 46 degrees Celcius, you double it to give you 92 and then add 30 giving you a temperature of 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The city of Providence is holding another “Cyclovia.” That’s when a main thoroughfare is shut down to car traffic so people can bike, walk and mingle.

The second of three such events taking place in Providence this year is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. A half-mile stretch of Broadway between Dean and Courtland streets will be closed to vehicles for four hours.

Another Cylcovia is scheduled for September.

Cyclovia is an international phenomenon and has spread to many other U.S. cities, including Atlanta, New York and Los Angeles.

Even the NY Slimes thinks that crabon is the cool stuff. After pointing out the problems and dangers of crabon for most of the article:

The advantages of carbon, Kaiser said, mean that it will continue to be used more widely in bikes and continue to replace aluminum. Steel is now a niche element most commonly used by artisanal frame builders in, and a small number of companies also build titanium frames.
